Content
Referring to FIGs. 2B, 2C, and 2D, the distal groove 224 of the lower endplate 112 can be configured to receive a lower tongue 230 of the distal wedge 116. The distal groove 224 is sized and configured to receive the lower tongue 230. The lower tongue 230 slides within the distal groove 224 of the lower endplate 112 as the expandable intervertebral implant 100 transitions from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration, or vice versa. The distal groove 228 of the upper endplate 110 can be configured to receive an upper tongue 232 of the distal wedge 116. The distal groove 228 of the upper endplate 110 is sized and configured to receive the upper tongue 232. The upper tongue 232 slides within the distal groove 228 of the upper endplate 110 as the expandable intervertebral implant 100 transitions from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration, or vice versa.
